BF you might consider a Black Mouth Cur. Yep sad for your hound having to be put down. I’ve been looking for a BMC, but can’t find any pups listed. I’m looking into some Pyrenees mix puppies near me. I’ve never had a dedicated livestock guardian breed before. A bear showed up this morning in a place they usually don’t. I’m concerned the local predators have already learned the hound is gone and they’re going to start harassing my livestock. My BMC is a GREAT family dog, and a GREAT first alert. He had a lot of prey drive at first but since my wife has a cat, he had to learn not to do that. He is not afraid of cows and will chase them without hesitation. It's interesting to note though that he will not go/chase much farther than a 100 yds from us for any reason. I'm not sure if it's because he is younger or just that he doesn't want to lose track of us. When he is running alongside the polaris or atv he will take off after a cow but will come back after a little chase. He will also break from whatever he's doing if I recall him with a whistle. He it's extremely smart. He easily learns just about anything. He is extremely athletic. For a 70lb dog he can move like a bolt of lightning with the grace of a gymnast. He takes no shit from other dogs but gets along well with them. He will put up with a lot of rough play, even from our pit bull, but I think he would tear her ass up if she pushed him too far. He easily backs her down when she gets carried away. He aims to please. He does not take scolding well at all. One thing I don't like is that he is extremely needy. If I'm going somewhere, he thinks he should be going too. He is also gun shy. He has claimed me as his human but assimilates well with all of the family. He can absolutely be trusted around kids and he is 100% on the job as a "something ain't right" detection system, and he sounds FEROCIOUS. I would recommend taking a closer look at the breed and if you're sold on it, wait for someone with just a modicum of popularity to have a litter. We drove to Warner Robbins to pick up ours. No real regrets on the breed or choice of breeder except he does slobber a little. Another plus is they are very "cheap" compared to most anything else you might be considering.

I got the blades off my zero turn mower today and got them sharp. That’s always a chore for me. I only today learned the difference between at 6 point and 12 point socket. The mower still strains in all but the thinnest grass. I think the belt may be worn out as when it strains the belt slips and burns.
Got the new pup. I’ll start a different thread about her.

Hunted down check engine light in wives car. Crumbled wiring to the EGR valve. Pulled the connector and taped everything off. Light gone.
Put new carb on lawn mower, runs great for 5 minutes and then starts surging. I think the main supply line is old and vacuum is collapsing it.
Made dinner , then cleaned out pellet smoker for wives B-day next weekend. She wants ribs.

Unwelcome surprise ... a tree had to come down.
Hanging over the street, the interior of the trunk had been eaten away by carpenter ants.
( we think they were the culprit. )
Our son spotted the cracks ... just in time from the look of the stump.
It was a big one ... 4K worth ... it's a write-off next April, but still unwelcome.

Went to Walgreens to pick up a scrip, then to the car wash, then to Safelite to check on a warranty part, then to the post office, then to the bank, then to the wine market to pick this month's wine club selection, then to The Monkey for a couple of Titos, then home to brine some shrimp for grilling, get corn ready for steaming, prep some orange roughy for baking, some yella squash for grilling, sliced some maters and Vidalias............I think that's all.

They come out great and the silk peels right off.

We called it a Sycamore for many years, but it turned out to be a hybrid called "London Plane". Evidently, they can last a very long time, and the roots get very large. There was a pair of them in front of a 2-flat rental, ( our former abode ). Now just one ... the one that doesn't lean out over an arterial road. We might have dodged a bullet ... rain started in the PM, as the crew was cleaning up. Storms now, and 99% tomorrow ... that sucker was ready to go.

Went to the Urologist in the morning and everything was fine. Went to get an MRI on my hip at 3pm.
On the way there, the passenger-side windshield wiper quit working. But the driver's side still works.
I get to the imaging center, get undressed, and into the MRI machine. About halfway through the MRI, the electricity goes out and the MRI just stops. Thankfully, the MRI has a manual release button so the tech can get you out if the machine dies. Power was only out a few minutes, but it took 20 minutes or so to reset the machine to finish the MRI. Arrived at 3pm, finally left the place at 5:30pm.
Not a great afternoon and now I need to figure out what happened to the wiper linkage. The motor works, so it has to be a connection to the passenger side. I do not think it is covered under my warranty looking at the contract and not sure the part would cost the $100 deductible anyway. But driver's side works.

They come out great and the silk peels right off. Bam! Exactly what we do and you're right. They shuck and clean great. I normally trim the ends, soak in water for a minute or 2. Place on plate and wrap in plastic wrap. In the microwave, 4 min for 1, 2 more min for each additional one. Let set a bit before cleaning
